Domenic's War

A Story of the Battle of Monte Cassino

An ancient Benedictine monastery stands atop a rugged mountain southeast of Rome. It is January 1944, and Monte Cassino, the mountain on which the monastery stands, becomes the staging ground for one of the most fiercly fought battle of World War II. Young Domenic and his family, who live on a farm in a quiet valley north of Monte Cassino, are hopelessly caught up in the war. Wit battle lines approaching, Domenic's father and brother are forced into hiding and the family struggles against all odds.
